"Eventually, I ended the relationship in March. I couldn't tolerate the infidelity. I am old school and cannot be in an open relationship. I am a one-man woman and expect the same from my partner," she further added.

However, later, Rohit Chandel had dismissed the cheating accusations and called them "false". "I have never cheated on her. Farnaz accompanied me to my sister's wedding in my hometown. If I wasn't serious about our relationship, why would I make her meet my family? These allegations are false," he told TOI.
